Day #1

Let me start off with a nutshell background about me. My name is Kelli and I am a 21 year old student living in Austin, Texas. The three most important things to me are:

1. Family 
2. Friends
3. Food

I attended Oregon State University for 3 years, but recently took some time off to clear my head a little bit. I will be starting at Texas State University this summer, with a focus on Nutrition, in hopes to become a registered dietician. I love food and I love to cook. I like to take recipes and modify them to make them healthier. That will be my focus for this blog.

It is Sunday, May 15, and it is the first official day of my blog. I got the idea for this blog this past Friday night. I had an epiphany while sitting outside talking with my dad, sister, and her fiance. I want to take my thoughts, ideas, and passion for food and health and share them with anyone and everyone, and this was my perfect opportunity.

FridaRitaMargarita was designed in order for me to share my perspective on taking the food I love and giving them healthy makeovers. Food should not only be healthy for you, but taste amazing. I strongly believe that food is everything. It is our fuel, it heals, it comforts, it brings people together, and so much more. It basically has magical powers, if you ask me. And I know that there are certain things that a modified healthy version will never fulfill, no matter how similar it may be. That is why I also believe that everything is okay in moderation. It is all about a good balance.

I am excited to start sharing everything I come up with and come across with all of you. This will be an exciting journey!
